Kobe Bryant’s father, Joe “Jellybean” Bryant, was a basketball journeyman. He played for the San Diego Clippers from 1979-1982. At some point in time during that stretch, he posterized Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, which I’d venture to guess no more than 10 or 20 people can say. While this clip has made the rounds before, it just got re-uploaded to YouTube this week, and I hadn’t previously seen it, so figured it was worth sharing as we run out the clock together on a Friday afternoon.
